Aurora Australis Marks The Southern Orifice

Readers-

The following
is a sped-up NASA film clip of the aurora australis. One thing that is unique
about this clip is that it shows the aurora emanting from an orifice in the
continent of Antarctica. This observation flies in the face of the accepted
theory that the aurora is directly caused by the solar winds. We suggest that
radiations from the Sun, including the solar winds, well up within the hollow
portion of the Earth and are expelled at times, causing the auroral display at a
certain altitude of friction.

Perhaps the
reader would like to familiarize him or herself with this concept of an
upshooting aurora. Testimony from the Arctic explorers of yesteryear can help:
Upwards Aurora

Below, the
reader will find still shots extracted from the clip which show the point of
origin of the aurora. Please note that our humble efforts have not produced the
same quality of resolution as the NASA clip. At this point we can focus on
another unique characteristic of this NASA clip- its satellite imagery clearly
shows the location of the Southern orifice. A made-to-order clip could not serve
our purposes better.

At this point
it would be helpful to refer the reader to another NASA image and its
interpretation, which can be found on our Radarsat page. Our comments on the
location of the Southern orifice should be understood in conjunction with this
page: Radarsat

What the reader
should keep in mind as he or she peruses the images below is that the opening is
not a matter of flat surface where a hole opens up such that the opening is
formed by a right angle drop. The area around the opening, in other words- that
whole side of the Antarctic, is a basin or depression which funnels down into
the orifice in a way similar to an hourglass because, of course, the orifice
flairs open on the other side. The problem is that this depression, which is
3-D, is being represented on a two dimensional surface, a flat map, such that
the opening gives the impression of a straight-down hole being drilled on a flat
surface. Again, it is not exactly like that.

In the
first image below, a dark point can be seen within the pink circle. Basically,
it sits between the American McMurdo Base, The South Pole, the Russian Vostok,
and sits within a thin strip denominated "unclaimed territory" on Antarctic maps.

At this
point, the image below shows that the aurora is spouting out from the opening.

Again, the
point of origin for the outflowing aurora is seen.

Towards the end, the outflow is more
intense, and it can be seen that the solar winds are brushing the outflowing
aurora to one side.

Ditto for this image.

Finally, the opening can be seen with
the difuse aurora around it.

Thus, these NASA images demonstrate that
the aurorae originate from within the Earth, that they are expressed through the
polar orifices, and the images pinpoint the location of the Southern polar
orifice, for all time, better than any of our efforts could do.
